Michael Olise boosts the Blues, hands a defeat to the Red Devils

Under the spotlight of the latest Nations League showdown, Michael Olise shone against the Red Devils, scoring four goals in three matches and delivering a decisive performance that marked the French revival during the evening.

The impact of Zinédine Zidane

Since Zinédine Zidane took charge of the French, Michael Olise has taken on another dimension. With four goals in his last three Nations League appearances, he has established himself as one of the group’s key players.

Against Belgium, he struck and was heavily involved in the French revival. His contribution was decisive, underscoring the importance of his role since the beginning of the Zidane era.

The changes made by the manager have given a new rhythm to the French, and Olise has fully taken advantage. He has therefore found a role that suits him, reflecting the immediate effect of the new system.

Olise's comments

After the match ended, Olise told TF1: “I think we played well at the end. The first half was difficult, against low blocks it’s always difficult. We kept going and the end was good, so we’re happy.” He highlighted that the difference came in the latter part of the game.

He added: “I think it’s also the collective. He brings ideas, we follow them. We will continue like this.” These remarks show his commitment to Zidane’s project.

He concluded: “I’m always happy with France, it’s a pleasure to play with this team. There are many quality players. I’m happy to play here.” This modesty reflects his attitude on the pitch.

Despite performances that are hard to ignore, Olise prefers to stay low‑key about his status. He does not linger on the numbers, letting his deeds speak for themselves.
